Fluorescent Lamp Hazard Problems… What’s in them?
Mercury, phosphor, cadmium and lead are just some of the environmental hazards contained in fluorescent lamps. Once exhausted, disposal of the lamps is regulated. The requirement to dispose of fluorescent lamps and other hazards, creates another task your business must manage. Weecycle can assist with disposal alternatives.
What Happens?
We use a method of collection that prevents glass fragments, toxic fumes, and dust, from escaping into the surrounding environment. Specially trained personnel operate equipment that processes the lamps. Our equipment is portable, so we process fluorescent lamps at your site, eliminating the need for special packaging and transport.
Our equipment crushes the fluorescent lamp and uses a negative air process to trap mercury vapors and toxic dusts inside a filter. Glass fragments and metal end caps remain in a storage drum awaiting disposal.
Finally, the contents of the drum are processed for recycling or disposal according to federal, state and local regulations. The fluorescent lamp hazard problem is out of your hands.
